Yeah, I’m starting this one the Sunday after the party. This thread is for the mixed alcoholic drink you just can’t stand. Don’t make crap up-if it can’t be found in one of the standard bartender’s guides, don’t post it. I could never understand the appeal of Bloody Marys. Whoever thought of mixing tomato juice, vodka and Tabasco sauce must have been one desperate drunk, and why the hell is there a vegetable garden growing out of the top of the damn glass? ---

I’ll second you on the Bloody Mary, and raise you a [Bullshot](http://www.drinksmixer.com/drink209.html). IMHO, that could be used as a form of execution. ---

The _Bloody Mary_ is more interesting with gin than with vodka. I also prefer the _Bloody Merrier_, made with V-8 juice in place of the tomato juice. I knew a guy who drank the Cape Codder. He wanted to fend off urinary tract infections, but he wanted some vodka with the alarming taste of cranberry juice. Smirnoff actually advertised the _Charlie Brown,_ made of root beer and Smirnoff vodka. A double shot of Kahlua with a few ounces of club soda makes a better root-beer-like mixed drink, IMO. After Chesley Sullenberger III emergency-landed an airliner in the river next to Manhattan after the engines inhaled some birds, somebody made _The Sully._ Two shots of Grey Goose and a splash of water. 😃 ---

Two or three sips of gin and tonic was about all I could stand. I don’t see how anyone can drink that crap. ---

Bloody Caesars are much better than Marys. And if you’re allowing shots, here’s my entry for the worst “drink”: the [Cement Mixer.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cement_mixer) ---

Harvey Wallbangers. Like somebody took a perfectly good screwdriver and mixed it with cough syrup. ---

I think my least favourite was a Manhattan; vermouth tastes terrible. I’d rather have a Harvey Wallbanger, a Bloody Mary, a Cape Cod or a G&T (especially) any day of the week. ---

I’ll agree on bloody marys. Who on EARTH would mix hot sauce with the burn of alcohol. Dunno how “real” this is, but two drinks / shooters I had in college: Gorilla fart : half tequila, half Jagermeister Cement mixer : some combo of Bailey’s and lime juice, that congealed in your mouth. ETA : I see that Shark Sandwich beat me to Cement Mixer. Joe ---

Any combination of energy drink (which taste like carbonated cough syrup to begin with) + vodka. Nothing like being buzzed and shitfaced at the same time. Also, according to my sister, Jack Daniels ‘n’ Squirt. ---

Anything mixed with tomato juice, but that’s a personal bias. I can’t stand tomato juice. I’ve never had one but a [jammy dodger shot](http://www.cocktail.uk.com/db/ingredient_description.asp?id=67) sounds nauseating. Just too rich and sweet. Not to mention that it plus a lack of Phil Collins tunes can make one quite irritable. 😛 ---

Bloody Marys are proof God loves us. Bloody Caesars are proof God hates Canadians. ---

The mai tai… one part Karo syrup, two parts rubbing alcohol, and a dash of red food coloring. Pour over ice then dump straight down the garbage disposal before tasting.
